"If it hadn't been for my peculiar fondness for Lan Li, and Lan Li just happened to be a soldier, would I have liked your profession? Didn't I say something similar when you enrolled in the military academy? You went to the academy and followed in Lan Li's footsteps," Ding Jinshi chuckled softly, then asked, "How has it felt to be enlisted all these years? It seems... I've never heard you complain to me."
"Has Lan Li ever complained to you?" Ding Long countered with a question.
"Him?" Ding Jinshi snorted, "When it comes to his job, he has this untouchable, sacred look about him. Forget about me and him; what about you? Why bring up this question all of a sudden?"
"Nothing much, just suddenly wanted to hear your thoughts on this profession," Ding Long replied calmly.
